Since they randomly selected every 5th man on the way out of the museum and asked them for their favorite piece, this is an unbiased sample, because no answer was influenced by something from the side to give the same answer. Everyone has their own opinion that is not conditioned by anything. People from special groups, who most have something in common that could affect the overall results, were not selected.
